On a Passover night, in the midst of an olive grove, a young rabbi from Galilee is waiting. He knows that his people have abandoned him, that he will be arrested. Alone with the stars, he relives the events which have changed his life - his meeting with John the Baptist, his stay in the desert, followed by his two years of wandering - and reiterates his personal message to the world, a message which was misunderstood by his followers, rejected by the authorities and which ultimately led to his betrayal and downfall.
